Hi planning a 7 day cruise to western Caribbean wondering how the dining rotation works. We went on a 3 day trip and loved the dining rotation. However unsure if we would want to eat at the same places twice. What other options are there. On fantasy cruise”

Ahoy, Stacey!

Welcome back aboard the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I'm so happy to hEAR you enjoyed your dining experience on your 3-night cruise. Dining is always one of my favorite Disney Cruise Line topics because I love everything about it especially not having to cook or clean while onboard! I've sailed on the Disney Fantasy a few times and personally love being able to visit each dining venue twice during the 7-night cruises. The menu items are always different (and delicious), and there are so many intricate details around the restaurants that it's fun to try to find something you didn't see before! And my crew never wants to miss Animator's Palate when we sail on the Disney Fantasy because of the two incredible dinner shows presented here! But, I will say that the Disney Fantasy does have two phenomenal adult-only dining venues that I highly recommend you try. Palo (Northern Italian cuisine) and Remy (French-inspired) both offer an exquisite dining experience for an additional fee. When I dine at Palo, I often feel like I am actually in Italy because the servers and chefs provide such an authentic meal. Reservations for brunch and dinner are available on the Disney Cruise Line website once your Online Check-in opens up.

Stacey, your other options for dinner include grabbing something from the quick-service venues on the pool deck or dining at Cabanas. At night, Cabanas offers a table-service dinner with similar menu items that you'll see in the main dining rooms. It is open seating, so you'll be free to choose when to eat during the hours of 6:30 and 8:30 p.m.
